Definitions

  • the present invention relates to information processing device and method, a computer program and a recording medium.
  • Embodiments of the invention relate to an information processing device and method and a recording medium which are suitably used for a device for supplying an Electronic Program Guide (EPG).
  • EPG Electronic Program Guide
  • EPG Electronic Program Guide
  • a user can select and watch/listen to or program to record a desired program from such an EPG.
  • programs are display as a list in EPG.
  • EPG electronic program guide
  • EPG shown in Fig. 1 programs being currently broadcasted, programs that have been already broadcasted and programs which will be broadcasted are displayed in mixture with one another.
  • each program is different in broadcast time period, and thus different in the length between time frames to be displayed.
  • the respective programs are displayed as being irregularly arranged as shown in Fig. 1, so that there may occur such a case that a program that has been already broadcasted is selected as a program which a user wants to watch/listen to, or recording of a program being currently broadcasted is programmed because a user misunderstands that it will be broadcasted. This could not be prevented even if the above programs are displayed with different colors among different categories.
  • the user In order to avoid this problem, the user must compares the current time and the broadcast time of a program to check whether a program which the user wants to watch/listen to is not a program that has been already broadcasted and a program which the user wants to program to record is a program that will be broadcasted, and thus conventional EPG is inconvenient for use.
  • the present invention has an object to supply EPG in which a program being currently broadcasted, a program that has been already broadcasted and a program that will be broadcasted can be discriminated from one another at a glance.
  • An information processing device controls a past program whose broadcast time is prior to a present time, a present program whose broadcast time contains the present time and a future program whose broadcast time is subsequent to the present time so that these programs are discriminatively displayed with different colors.
  • a program indicated by a user may be further displayed with a different color.
  • An information processing method controls a past program whose broadcast time is prior to a present time, a present program whose broadcast time contains the present time and a future program whose broadcast time is subsequent to the present time so that these programs are discriminatively displayed with different colors.
  • a program of a recording medium of according to the present invention controls a past program whose broadcast time is prior to a present time, a present program whose broadcast time contains the present time and a future program whose broadcast time is subsequent to the present time so that these programs are discriminatively displayed with different colors.
  • a past program whose broadcast time is prior to a present time, a present program whose broadcast time contains the present time and a future program whose broadcast time is subsequent to the present time are controlled to be displayed with different colors. Accordingly, there can be prevented such a misoperation that a user erroneously instructs to watch/listen to a past program which has been already broadcasted or to program the recording of a past program.
  • Fig. 2 is a diagram showing the construction of an embodiment of a receiver to which the present invention is applied.
  • Digital data received from an antenna 30 are input to a tuner 11 of the receiver 10.
  • the tuner 11 extracts data on a program indicated by a user and outputs the data to a descrambler 12.
  • the descrambler 12 descrambles the scramble and outputs the data to a stream processor 13.
  • the stream processor 13 outputs video data of the input data to a video encoder 14, and also outputs audio data of the input data to an audio decoder 15.
  • the stream processor 13 subjects the input video data to the decode processing corresponding to the encode system, further generates OSD (On Screen Display) data if occasion demands, superposes the OSD data on the decoded video data and then outputs the data thus obtained.
  • OSD On Screen Display
  • the video encoder 14 When the video encoder 14 outputs input video data to a television receiver 50, the video encoder 14 subjects the encode processing meeting the television receiver 50, for example, the encode processing based on the NTSC (National Television System Committee) system to the input video data, and then outputs the data to the television receiver 50.
  • the video data processed by the stream processor 13 are also output to a component 51 treating digital data.
  • the audio decoder 15 subjects the input audio data to the decode processing corresponding to the encode system of the audio data.
  • the audio data which have been subjected to the decode processing by the audio decoder 15 are output to an interface 16.
  • the interface 16 is connected to IEEE1394 cable 52, for example, and outputs the audio data from the audio decoder 15 to a device connected to the IEEE1394 cable 52.
  • the audio data output from the audio decoder 15 are also output to other devices through an optical cable 53. Further, the audio data output from the audio decoder 15 are converted to analog data by a D/A (Digital/Analog) converter 17, and output to a speaker 54.
  • D/A Digital/Analog
  • the tuner 11 extracts the data of a program indicated by the user.
  • the user tunes a desired program by using a remote controller 32 or switch 33, and outputs an instruction.
  • the switch 33 is provided on the side surface of the receiver 10, and it is designed to output substantially the same instruction as the remote controller 32.
  • the remote controller 32 receives/transmits data from/to the receiver 10 by infrared rays, for example.
  • the data corresponding to an instruction which the user makes by using the remote controller 32 are received by a photodetector 18 of the receiver 10.
  • the data received by the photodetector 18 or the data corresponding to the instruction based on the switch 33 are output to a display controller 19.
  • the display controller 19 outputs the data from the photodetector 18 or the data from the switch 33 to a controller 20 if occasion demands, and also performs the display control of a display portion 21 according to the input data.
  • the display portion 21 is provided on the side surface of the receiver 10, and it makes a display to make the user know that the processing corresponding to the user's instruction is executed or makes a display for information to be supplied to the user.
  • IC card 31 When a subscription for audience of a pay program is taken out, data supplied from a partner with which the subscription is taken out are stored in an IC card 31. This data is a descrambling key for descrambling the scramble or the like.
  • the IC card 31 is mounted in a card I/F (Interface) 22 so that data recorded are read out. The data thus read out are output to the controller 20.
  • the controller 20 On the basis of the input data, the controller 20 outputs an indication of a program to be extracted to the tuner 11, and also supplies the descrambling key to the descrambler 12.
  • step S1 the receiver 10 displays EPG on the television receiver 50, for example.
  • the display of EPG is carried out on the basis of an instruction from a user.
  • the user instructs the display of EPG by operating a remote controller 32 or switch 33 when a predetermined channel program is displayed or the like.
  • an EPG button not shown for instructing switching the display of EPG to the remote controller 32 is provided.
  • Fig. 4 shows an example of EPG displayed on the television receiver 50 by operating the EPG button provided to the remote controller 32 by the user in step S1.
  • a present date and hour display portion 71 for displaying the present date and hour is provided at the upper side of the screen of the television receiver 50.
  • a day-of-week display portion 72 for displaying the present day of the week is provided at the lower side of the present date and hour display portion 71.
  • a program-table display portion 73 is provided at the lower side of the day-of-week display portion 72.
  • Each day of the week displayed on the day-of-week display portion 72 is set as a button, and the programs of the day of the week corresponding to a button operated are displayed on the program-table display portion 73.
  • programs within three hours containing the present time on a selected day of the week are displayed in the corresponding time frames every channel (numerals displayed at the left side of the program-table display portion 73) on the program-table display portion 73.
  • the program-table display portion 73 displays a program table so that past programs with respect to the present time (programs that have been already broadcasted), programs being currently broadcasted and future programs with respect to the present time (programs that will be broadcasted) are discriminated from one another at a glance.
  • the past programs and the future programs are displayed with oblique lines. Different oblique lines are affixed to the past programs and the future programs. In Fig. 4, they are discriminated by the oblique lines, however, they may be discriminated by colors.
  • the past programs, the present programs and the future programs are displayed with different colors .
  • the colors may be set to user's favorable colors.
  • a cursor moving within the displayed program table is also displayed on the program-table display portion 73.
  • a program frame at which the cursor is located is displayed so as to be discriminated from the other program frames. For example, when the past programs, the present programs and the future programs are displayed so as to be discriminated from one another by colors, a program at which the cursor is located is displayed with a further different color.
  • the cursor is located on a program Q of a channel 132. The cursor is operated by using the remote controller 32.
  • the past programs , the present programs and the future programs are displayed so as to be discriminated from one another at a glance, thereby preventing occurrence of such a situation that a past program which has been already broadcasted is selected as a program which the user wants to watch/listen to or a program being currently broadcasted is selected as a program for which the picture recording is programmed.
  • the program table is shifted to the left side, for example, at 11 o'clock in the display example shown in Fig. 4, and it is renewed to a program table from 11 o'clock to 14 o'clock. With this operation, the latest program table containing the current time is displayed at all times. Further, there can be prevented such a case that past programs are continued to be displayed.
  • the information of a program at which the cursor is located in the program-table display portion 73 is displayed on the program information display portion 74.
  • a channel number, a program title, a broadcast time, a program content, etc. are provided as the information of the program to be displayed.
  • An operation guide display portion 75 is provided at the lower side of the program information display portion 74.
  • the operation guide display portion 75 displays the information on the operations. For example, it shows a user that the display is returned (switched) to a previous state if the user operates the EPG button provided to the remote controller 32.
  • step S2 When EPG (program table) as described above is displayed on the television receiver 50 in step S1, it is judged in step S2 whether the EPG button is operated or not. If it is judged in step S2 that the EPG button is not operated, the process goes to step S3 to move the cursor in conformity with the user's operation of the remote controller 32. Then, it is judged in step S4 whether the enter button is operated or not.
  • the enter button is also provided to the remote controller 32, and it is a button to be operated when the user wants to watch/listen to a program at which the cursor is located or the user wants to program the recording of the program.
  • step S4 The processing of the steps S3 and S4 is repetitively carried out until it is judged in step S4 that the enter button is operated. If it is judged that the enter button is operated, the processing goes to step S5. It is judged in step S5 whether the program at which the cursor is located when the enter button is operated is a past program or not. Since past programs, present programs and future programs are displayed with different colors as described above, they are discriminated from one another at a glance. However, there may be such a case that a user erroneously selects (indicates) a past program which has been already broadcasted. In order to support such a situation, the processing of the steps S5 and S6 is provided.
  • step S5 If it is judged in step S5 that a past program is indicated, the processing goes to step S6 in which a message to make the user recognize that the indicated program has been already broadcasted and thus cannot be selected like "broadcast has been finished" is displayed on the screen of the television receiver 50.
  • This message may be displayed so as to be overlapped with the display frame shown in Fig. 4 or it may be displayed after the display frame is switched.
  • step S6 If the message in the step S6 is displayed for only a predetermined time or if the user carries out an operation of indicating user's recognition that the program cannot be selected, the processing returns to step S2 to repeat the processing of the subsequent steps.
  • step S5 determines whether a past program is indicated. If it is judged in step S5 that no past program is indicated, the processing goes to step S7 to judge whether a present program is indicated or not. If it is judged that no present program is indicated, the processing goes to step S8 to judge whether a future program is indicated or not. If it is judged in step S8 that a future program is indicated, the processing goes to step S9.
  • the judgment of the indication of a future program makes it possible to judge that the user programs the recording of the indicated program, and thus the content of the indicated program is first displayed in step S9.
  • This display may be made on the program information display portion 74, or the display frame may be switched to another for displaying detailed information.
  • the user executes a predetermined operation, for example, an operation of operating a picture-recording programming button provided to the remote controller 32 or operating a picture-recording programming button displayed on the screen, whereby the picture-recording is programmed on the basis of the operation.
  • step S8 determines whether future program is indicated. If it is judged in step S8 that the program is not any future program, it is judged that the program concerned is not contained in any time of the past, the present and the future. Such a program is processed as a program having no time information. In other words, since the user can do neither watching/listening of the program concerned nor programming of the recording of the program concerned, no special processing is carried out, and the display state of the display frame as shown in Fig. 4 is kept (that is, the processing returns to step S2 to repeat the processing of the subsequent steps).
  • step S7 if it is judged in step S7 that a present program is indicated, the processing goes to step S10.
  • step S10 the display is switched to the program thus indicated.
  • the indication of the present program makes it possible to judge that the user wants to watch/listen to the program concerned, and thus the display is switched from the display state of EPG as shown in Fig. 4 to the program indicated.
  • step S2 if it is judged in step S2 that the EPG button is operated, that is, it is judged that the user instructs to finish the display of EPG, the processing goes to step S11 to finish the display of EPG as shown in Fig. 4.
  • step S11 finish the display of EPG as shown in Fig. 4.
  • the display of the television receiver 50 is switched to an original program (a program of a channel displayed before EPG is displayed).
  • the past, present and future programs are displayed with different colors so as to be discriminated from one another in the EPG display, and also the processing is executed in accordance with the broadcast time of a selected program, whereby the user can be prevented from executing an operation that cannot be instructed, and also the user can easily carry out a desired operation.
  • the series of processing as described above can be executed by hardware, however, it may be executed by software.
  • the program constituting the software may be installed from a recording medium into a computer installed in a special-purpose hardware or a general personal computer which can execute various functions by installing various programs therein.
  • this recording medium is constructed by not only a package medium comprising a magnetic disc 121 (containing a floppy disk), an optical disc 122 (containing CD-ROM(Compact Disc-Read Only Memory), DVD (Digital Versatile Disk)), a magnetooptical disc 123 (containing MD (Mini-Disk)), a semiconductor memory 124 or the like that has the program recorded therein and is distributed to supply the program to users separately from a computer, but also a hard disc containing ROM 102 or a storage portion 108 that has the program recorded therein and is supplied to users under the state that it is installed in a computer in advance.
